Articles by Trent Newman
Trent’s checkered past has included work in human rights education and refugee education, as well as teaching language and cultural studies to a range of age groups in diverse contexts. He has generously spread himself around, having lived and worked in the US, Japan, Peru, Uganda, France, Bosnia Herzegovina, and Timor-Leste. Closer to home, he has produced anti-racism and intercultural communication resources for teachers in Australian schools, and facilitated collaborative workshops with young people on a range of social justice issues. Trent is currently ensconced at the University of Melbourne in hair-pulling pursuit of his PhD in educational linguistics on the topic of multilingualism, education, and development in Timor-Leste. To stay sane, Trent keeps a veggie garden. He lives with his partner, James, and their two dogs in Richmond, Victoria.
